"A perfect, original meal, from local products, in a cozy setting in one of the Plus Jolie Village de France after a scenic drive. What more could you ask for? We picked a wonderful day for our 2 hour countryside drive over to Collonge-la Rouge in the Correze department of southwest France. In summer, this hillside village built over centuries from the iron rich stone from the quarries nearby, is a jumble of small streets filled with tourists wandering through the red walls of the houses and shops and church. The tourists have gone, but the restaurants needed to feed them are left behind. Yesterday the town was empty, but the restaurants were well filled with happy french diners. We were lucky to have chosen the Auberge de Benges I had called ahead for a reservation and asked their location as the picture on Trip Advisor makes it appear it is in the open countryside. I was assured that indeed they are in the village, just on its lowest edge. You are required to leave you car in the parking at top of the hill as the village is officially car-less. There were in fact a few shops open as we followed the well marked trail down through the twist and turns of the town, to the auberge, perched looking out over a wonderful valley. In summer the patio view and tables should be one of the most perfect in France. In winter, we ate in the timbered dining room under the house above. We were greeted by a slim and efficient young man who was thoroughly professional and friendly throughout. The menu has offerings at 22, 35 Euros depending on combinations and plates, and a special 65 Euro Chefs menu. As we had the two hours now to drive back after lunch, we decided on the basic entree + plat. plus splitting a carfe of wine and a sparkling water. No dessert (we were going to split one but when we asked at the end of our main about the dessert options, were informed that we had to order them up front as they were all created individually -there you go for trying to be strong). The young professionally trained chef uses only local producers and currently available product. There is even a list of the actual farmers or producers he uses. The plates come out with wonderful sauces and deeply flavored food, representing the richness of totally bio ingredients. P had homemade fois gras entier with "deux pommes" which was a bit of word play on a small sides of apple (pommes) and potato (pommes "de terre"). The medium sized cross section of the fois, was was plated with the pommes sauces. I had escargot profiterole in a garlic ber blanc sauce. Lovely balanced flavors with the sauce around the two profiteroles with 3 snails each inside. P chose the traditional magret de canard in a rich duck stock sauce that was cooked to the exact level requested. I had a special treat, roast quail in a mediera sauce. The waiter had noted that the chef had just received a fresh truffle and could shave slices over my fowl and sauce. It is just the beginning of the truffle season here in the Dordogne so it was a real treat and of course I authorized the small suppliment. What came was a very generous portion of truffle spread throughout. The madeira sauce was rich and deep and the aroma of the truffle oohed its way into my sensory passages as the bites of perfectly charred quail were eaten. They had a nice, regional selection of wines at reasonable prices. I avoided temptation and stayed with the house bergerac red. It was a lovely meal in a quiet setting, and very well priced in the end (though with no cheese or dessert, only coffee and a small Perrier). This is a personal restaurant with its raison d;etre coming from the chef's passion for local and bio food to inspire him. It would have been nice if there had been a connection with him, the person. He stayed in the kitchen letting the food be his representative. Collonge la Rouge is only 20 minutes or so from Brive and the A20. So if you dont want to wander the back roads, you can get close by fairly quickly from anywhere in the South west."

Great food in a truly beautiful setting. A limited menu.... but the cuisine is so very good. Try and get a table on the terrace

Second time of visiting and the standard is still good. Decided to choose from the Carte as set menu not offering the choice we wanted. Great location and service. However they wouldn't give out their wifi code which was a bit strange.

This is a fantastic restaurant, with lovely food and wonderful staff. It matches some of the Michelin starred restaurants we been to in the UK, Belgium & other parts of France, We have a house nearby - and feel very lucky as we can visit regularly. Kevin Fitzpatrick Ver carta

Our last evening in this region and what a terrific place . Delightful food on a lovely terrace overlooking a rose garden and the surrounding hills, absolutely fabulous ! The food and wine superb and the staff charming as was this imaginative chef .. His food a delight to the tastebuds. Be sure to visit this lovely restaurant in a fabulous village .. We hope you enjoy !

The village is obviously quite touristy and the restaurant claims to offer a quality menu with local products. They are trying to promote the charms of a French village but with no manners. The staff was rude and the service was quite poor. The menu is extremely limited too. Also, be aware you and don't you think about wandering on their property after your lunch. Plainly rude, there are better places in town and owners with better manners.

I've eaten here many times and even though the restaurant changed hands a few years ago, the food still remains at a high level of quality. What I love is eating out on the terrace on a summer evening. The Auberge is located right at the bottom of the village of Collonges and looks out over the countryside. The food is regional classics and is done really well and you won't be burned by the cost. It's reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Collonges la Rouge. Ver carta

This our 2nd lunch at this auberge and it was as pleasant as the first time. The view of the valley is lovely, service friendly and efficient and the food is very good. Both the magret and the trout were delicious; small portions, but considering the entrees, the cheese -very nice assortment- and desserts, we had plenty to eat. We were there in August, during the week, and the village was super crowded... So make reservations and if you are just passing through for lunch, park at the entrance of the village in the public parking lot.

Friends booked this for us and my first impressions of this weren't that positive. It was lunchtime and we were showed upstairs to an airless, stuffy room with several tables full of no one talking to each other! Odd.After insisting that we sit on the terrace outside, things improved remarkably. This is a lovely restaurant.There's a garden you look out onto full of wild flowers and butterflies and the rolling French countryside - it's just marvellous.The lady who served us was very sweet and we soon started to get on well.The food was great - foie gras followed by trout and them crème brule. Just good cooking in a good setting with good company in one of the most beautiful villages in France...
